YOGA AT THE BEACHES OF THE WACHAU
Matsya Yoga is a beautiful center right on the beaches of the Wachau.
Our center in the Wachau serves as a retreat on the Danube, where we dedicate ourselves to our weekly yoga classes, intensive teacher training programs and workshops.
The Wachau is Austria’s tropical rainforest. Here, the Parana flows through nature, and everything is teeming with life. The numerous beaches invite you to let go and contemplate. The river itself carries your spirit away and creates exactly the atmosphere you need to immerse yourself in the heart of yoga! Come visit us!
P.S. We have mats, cushions, and blankets prepared for you at the studio and in the Wachau. So, you only need to bring yourselves, a calm mind, and a love for yoga.
Our Spirit, Our Books
Our books are aimed at all those who are interested in the rich philosophy of yoga, to those who want to dive deep and discover the secrets of yoga and life.
Yoga is not only a search for the great cosmic mysteries, but also a science of the everyday - of life itself and what is closest to us, what is closest to us. Yoga explores the essence of life and that which goes beyond it.
In addition , we share practical exercises, Kundalini yoga kriyas and techniques in our books, to master the art of creating inspiring yoga classes and awakening their soul.
Among our books you will also find the three manuals for our Hatha and Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training, all interested parties are welcome to purchase the scripts for our training in advance if you are interested.

What our customers say
The most authentic and profound yoga studio I’ve ever been to! I’m very grateful to have been able to do the YTT with Clemens and his team. They teach a very traditional and unique kind of yoga and find a perfect way to make it modern and easily accessible for everyone. An absolutely magical experience 🙂 Thank you!
What our customers say
Kleines feines Studio mit authentischem Yoga, wie man ihn selten in großen Städten findet. Hier kann man wirklich abschalten und gleichzeitig den Körper aktivieren, denn es sind teils dynamische Einheiten (va. Kundalini). Hatte bisher 2 Yogaklassen bei Clemens und es ist spürbar, dass Yoga für ihn eine Lebensphilosophie ist, deren Weisheiten er großzügig mit allen teilt. Sehr empfehlenswert!
What our customers say
Sehr angenehmes Yogastudio mit einem Gemeinschaftsraum mit Küche, der zum länger bleiben einlädt. Yoga wird hier in Bezug auf den eigentlichen ursprünglichen Spirit von Yoga praktiziert, was sehr wertvoll und schön ist. Es kommen vor allem Elemente aus dem Hatha und Kundalini Yoga und Yoga Nidra vor. Das Lehrerteam ist professionell und geht individuell auf die Schüler*innen ein. Clemens hat ein wirklich sehr großes Wissen über die Entstehung und Entwicklung von Yoga und Tantra. Spirituelle und Yoga Suchende finden hier definitiv ein Zuhause! Danke Clemens!

Mein Freund und ich hatten eine grandiose Yoga-Einheit heute Morgen! Können es jedem nur wärmstens ans Herz legen, auch mal vorbeizuschauen. Auch für Anfänger super geeignet! Danke Clemens!
What our customers say
Mein 200 Stunden Training bei Clemens war außergewöhnlich. Clemens hat eine besondere und wundervolle Art Yoga zu praktizieren und gibt diese gerne weiter und lässt einen dadurch an seiner intensiven Praxis teilhaben. Er besitzt ein tiefes Verständnis von Yoga und ist auf Fragen immer sehr ausführlich eingegangen...
What our customers say
I would highly recommend Matsya yoga academy to anyone who is looking for a deep understanding of Hatha and Kundalini yoga. It was a big gamble for me, whether I had chosen the right course or not, but any doubts were soon put to rest after my first classes at Matsya. The USP of this course is Clemens. I simply could not have hoped for a better teacher/guru. He is without doubt the most passionate and knowledgeable yogi I have ever come across, who is 100% invested in what he teaches, and his energy and passion for the subject is contagious. The accommodation is good, and Clemens can’t do enough to make students feel comfortable and welcome. Easy 5 stars
What our customers say
I signed up for the Yoga Teacher Training with Clemens and even without having a single class with him or ever meeting him, I had a feeling he’s going to be wonderful! And now that I almost completed the training, I can say that for sure that he’s been the most amazing teacher one could ever wish for! He’s incredibly knowledgable - I call him walking-talking encyclopaedia! He has amazing energy and presence, he teaches kundalini yoga with his heart wide open, he’s very kind and generous, he never hesitates to share yet another technique that might be useful 🙂 and he’s incredibly patient in lovingly answering any question from his students (and I had plenty!) All in all, I honestly can say that I couldn’t wish for a better teacher to learn hatha and kundalini yoga! Thank you for everything Clemens!
What our customers say
I am an American yoga teacher living in Italy and participated in a weeklong continuing education training about the chakras at Matsya Yoga Academy. All training classes were taught in english and all open yoga classes were taught in english with the exception of one. I immediately felt welcome upon my arrival. Clemens, the studio owner, greeted me at the studio and showed me around the space. For out of town students, as it is available, there is an apartment attached to the studio that you can stay in (with other roommates) for an additional fee while you are participating in a training. This made me feel even more integrated into the community and also made it very easy to attend classes without having to commute...
What our customers say
The hidden gem of yoga in Vienna! I was delighted to find authentic hatha/kundalini yoga being practiced through authoritative Indian lineages here in Central Europe. Clemens creates a transformative, energy-shifting yoga journey during each class. I was so impressed that I was impelled to commence the 200-hour teacher training course. This experience has been nothing short of life changing. Not only have we learnt many specialised asana sets, we have also deep dived into pranayama, mudra, bandha, mantras and much of ancient and contemporary yogic literature. Needless to say, I am immensely grateful to have found a teacher that is so committed to transferring the full richness of yoga practice as a way of life. My most heartfelt thanks to Clemens and Yoga Matsya!!
